      Belief requires knowledge. You can’t disbelieve something if you’ve never been exposed to the concept.

        I offer you can’t believe without having exposure to the concept. What meaning does red, blue, green hold for someone born blind without hope for vision?

          That’s what I’m saying though? Without exposure to the concept you can’t believe or disbelieve in it. Ergo no one can be “born” an atheist as they haven’t been exposed to the concept of theism yet and thus cannot believe or disbelieve it until they do.
